The steam generator lateral supports are made of T-1 steel, the welding of which is very susceptible to cracking. The support had previously been ultrasonically tested by the manufacturer (LAMCO, El Cajon, California) before shipment to the site.

The indications were examined by experts from Bechtel's San Francisco

,

office.

The indications were found to be cracks and will be repaired by grinding and rewelding. The welds will then be magnetic particle
